Currently, Pak-Rite specializes in foam and plastic components, and wood crating systems. Some of the industries it serves include medical, aerospace and automation equipment.

Terms of the deal were undisclosed.

“Pak-Rite aligns with our strategic objective to become the industry’s foremost packaging solutions provider,” UFPI CEO Matthew Missad said in a statement, noting the company’s “reputation for extraordinary products and services.”

According to a statement, Pak-Rite generated sales of nearly $15 million in the 12-month period through September 2018.
